Though I've never been one to care too much about a songs lyrical content, I do have a problem with this kinda thing. I can accept it from bands like Fear because they do it in a rather goofy, tongue in cheek kinda way.
In his defense that was only referring to Reggae and he's kind of taken that back now with the whole Attack Records thing.
But yeah, he annoys me when he's that ambiguous about it all, doesn't help him. There's time like The National Front Disco where it's quite clearly satire but then there's songs like Asian Rut where it's less clear. Grr.
